Good evening, everyone.
First of all, I am honored to be invited by the group owner to share with you my understanding of the product and industry of Xinhui Chenpi .
Let me briefly introduce myself.
My name is Di Daopao, which is my pen name and the name of my company. I am from Xinhui. I have been deeply involved in the Xinhui tangerine peel industry for more than ten years, integrating planting, production, sales and storage.
has written two books about tangerine peel and currently serves as a director of the Xinhui tangerine peel association.
Okay, the introduction is complete, thank you.
Tonight, as a friend, I will tell you the basic knowledge of Xinhui Chenpi.
10 in total, the time is about half an hour.
I believe that after answering these 10 questions, everyone will basically have a good understanding of Xinhui Chenpi.
Finally, if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them.
first.
What is Xinhui Chenpi?
Xinhui is a place name. A more accurate positioning is an administrative district under the jurisdiction of Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, called Xinhui District.
Xinhui is on the west bank of Pearl River Delta, about 2.5 hours' drive from Guangzhou.
Among the historical celebrities who have appeared in Xinhui, the most famous one is undoubtedly Liang Qichao.
There is also a scenic spot in Xinhui called Bird's Paradise. We used to have Chinese textbooks when we were young, written by and Ba Jin . I don’t know if there are any new textbooks now.
Tangerine peel is the dried peel of the oranges we often eat.
The combination of Xinhui tangerine peel is the oranges grown in Xinhui, and the dried peel is Xinhui tangerine peel.
the second one.
Oranges can be grown all over the country, why is it better to grow them in a new country?
This is related to a series of natural factors such as water source, soil and climate in Xinhui. Of course, it is also related to the variety, but innate factors are the main ones. I won’t go into details about
. It is not difficult to understand if we put it together with Hami melon, Ningxia wolfberry , Yantai apple .
To put it bluntly, there is one sentence: one side’s water and soil, one side’s special products.
the third one.
What’s so good about Xinhui Chenpi?
As tea, it is warm, moist, refreshing and harmonious.
is used as soup stock to remove the odor and add flavor.
is used for medicinal purposes, removes dampness and resolves phlegm, regulates qi and strengthens the spleen.
the fourth one.
Don’t orange peels produced in other places have these effects?
is not. Orange peels grown in all places have their own functions.
Only in terms of medicinal and tea value, Xinhui tangerine peel is better than that produced in other places, that's all.
Li Shizhen recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Xinhui tangerine peel: "Its taste is pungent, bitter, and warm. Pungent can be dispersing, bitter can purge and dry, and warm can be gentle. Its ability to regulate qi and dry dampness is always used to treat various diseases."
In the Qing Dynasty, Xinhui tangerine peel was a tribute.
is now the first of the three treasures of Guangdong, and is a national geographical indication protected product.
can be simply summed up in one sentence: talent determines the upper limit, and hard work determines the lower limit.
the fifth.
How to quickly distinguish Xinhui tangerine peel from tangerine peel from other places in terms of appearance, smell and taste?
In appearance, Xinhui tangerine peel has a unique texture called bristle texture. I will send pictures to you later. This texture makes Xinhui tangerine peel look relatively rough, and the texture will not disappear over time. The area enclosed by
is the bristle pattern.
bristle pattern refers to the pattern in this area.The so-called texture does not refer to a specific point, but a range and an area.
I am posting some tangerine peel produced in other places. If there is no bristle pattern, please take a look.
These surfaces are relatively smooth and do not have the three-dimensional effect of bristle.
In addition, in addition to the special texture, the appearance of Xinhui tangerine peel has another obvious feature, that is, it generally has many "scars".
This kind of scar is called typhoon scar. It is mainly formed by the friction between the fruit and the branches when the typhoon blows every year.
Of course, not every piece of Xinhui tangerine peel has typhoon scars, but if there is no piece of typhoon scarred tangerine peel in 500 grams of tangerine peel, it is a bit strange. After all, this is a common phenomenon.
In terms of smell, Xinhui tangerine peel has a special aroma, whose scientific name is 2-methylamino-methyl benzoate.
The name is relatively abstract, and there is no comparison, so it is difficult for friends who have never tasted real Xinhui tangerine peel to understand it. I use my own words to express it, it is a light salty aroma, and the longer the time, the more obvious the smell.
In terms of taste, it is not so abstract. After all, you can clearly feel it after drinking it.
The real Xinhui tangerine peel is slightly bitter in the mouth, but it stays in the mouth for a very short time, and soon has a sweet taste.
As for the "bitterness" of tangerine peel, China on the Tip of the Tongue at that time specially used Xinhui tangerine peel as an introduction, saying that it is bitter first and then sweet, and the bitterness is followed by the sweetness. If you have time, you can check out this video.
the sixth.
Xinhui tangerine peel, is it really better with age?
Yes, but there is a premise here, which is to preserve it reasonably and correctly so that it can get better as it ages.
Xinhui tangerine peel gets better as it ages. The principle is similar to Pu'er tea, which is the result of changes in various nutrients.
Xinhui tangerine peel mainly contains two major nutrients: volatile oil and flavonoids substances.
These two types of substances will change as the age of tangerine peel increases. This is the main reason why the value of tangerine peel becomes higher as it ages.
Of course, if it is for home use, I think the five-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel is enough. If conditions permit, you can try the 10-year-old tangerine peel. There is no need to pursue the tangerine peel of a higher age.
The seventh one is also an issue that everyone is more concerned about.
Why is the market price of Xinhui tangerine peel so chaotic?
In fact, not only Xinhui tangerine peel, but also all regional specialty agricultural and sideline products are in all kinds of chaos when they come out of the local area. This is a common phenomenon.
In the final analysis, landmark products have limitations such as output and scale, and cannot meet the large market demand. Naturally, there are many Li Gui impersonating Li Kui, so it is not surprising that prices vary.
the eighth.
I bought new tangerine peel and kept it. After a few years, will it become old tangerine peel?
Yes. Old tangerine peel is a product of time, as long as it is preserved well.
There is no high technology in preserving tangerine peel, it just requires patience.
For example, tangerine peels that are less than three years old need to be dried 2-3 times a year, after the rainy season and before winter, in order to prevent them from being eaten by insects and mold, and also help them to transform better.
Tangerine peels that are more than five years old do not need to be dried frequently, but if there are consecutive humid days, they need to be checked in time and properly dried.
For daily household storage, the main thing is to seal and dry it.
the ninth.
How to use tangerine peel as tea?
Tangerine peel is warm in nature and can be paired with many teas. At the same time, tangerine peel is also a separate tea and is loved by more and more people.
Our daily combinations include tangerine peel and Pu'er , and tangerine peel and old white tea .
The method is to boil them together, or you can boil the tangerine peel water separately, and then brew Pu'er or old white tea.
The latter tastes better, you can try it.
tenth.
Can children drink tangerine peel tea?
Except for people with gastrointestinal dampness and heat, dry cough, and stomach fire who should not eat more, everyone else can eat tangerine peel.
If children find tangerine peel water slightly bitter, they can brew it with honey.
Okay, that’s it for tonight’s sharing.
Thank you.
Finally, if you have any questions, you can ask them and I will try to answer them.
text is also a kind of link, thank you for the fate!
